Excel OfficeExcel TEXT functions return a number in a specified number format
To split a number from a unit value, you need to determine the position of the last number. If you add 1 to that position, you have the start of the unit text. Note: these is an experimental formula that uses a hard coded array constant, set down here for reference and comment. Casually tested… read more »
To extract a word that contains specific text,you can use a formula based on several functions, including TRIM, LEFT, SUBSTITUTE, MID, MAX, and REPT. You can use this formula to extract things like email addresses, or other substrings with a unique id. Formula =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,” “,REPT(” “,99)),MAX(1,FIND(“@”,SUBSTITUTE(A1,” “,REPT(” “,99)))-50),99)) Explanation In the example shown, the formula… read more »
To sum the total amount of time over 30 minutes, given a set of times that represent duration, you can use the SUMPRODUCT and TIME functions. Alternatively, use SUMIFS and COUNTIFS functions. Formula =SUMPRODUCT((range-TIME(0,30,0))*(range>TIME(0,30,0))) Explanation In the example shown, the formula in G5 is: =SUMPRODUCT((times-TIME(0,30,0))*(times>TIME(0,30,0))) where “times” is the named range C5:C14. How this formula works This formula… read more »
Case study You have a start time and an end time, and you want to know how many of the hours in between these two times overlap another time period in the day. For example, you want to know how many hours fall between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, or 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, etc…. read more »
If you need to calculate the number of days that overlap in two date ranges, then this tutorials is for you. You can use basic date arithmetic, together with the the MIN and MAX functions. See example below; Formula =MAX(MIN(end1,end2)-MAX(start1,start2)+1,0) Explanation In the example shown, the formula in D6 is: =MAX(MIN(end,C6)-MAX(start,B6)+1,0) How this formula works Excel dates… read more »
This tutorial shows how to Force negative numbers to zero in Excel using the example below; Formula =MAX(value,0) Explanation To force negative numbers to zero without affecting positive numbers, you can use a formula based on the MAX function. In the example shown, the formula in D5 is: =MAX(C5-B5,0) How this formula works This formula… read more »
This tutorial shows how to calculate Position of max value in list in Excel using the example below; Formula =MATCH(MAX(range),range,0) Explanation To get the position of the maximum value in a range (i.e. a list, table, or row), you can use the MAX function together with the MATCH function. In the example shown, the formula in… read more »
This tutorial shows how to calculate Max if criteria match in Excel using the example below; Formula {=MAX(IF(criteria_range=criteria,value_range))} Explanation To look up the maximum value in a range based on specific critieria, you can use a basic array formula based on the IF function. Example data and problem In the example shown, we have almost… read more »
This tutorial shows how to Get location of value in 2D array in Excel using the example below; Formula =SUMPRODUCT((data=MAX(data))*ROW(data))-ROW(data)+1 Explanation To locate the position of a value in a 2D array, you can use the SUMPRODUCT function. In the example shown, the formulas used to locate the row and column numbers of the max value… read more »
This tutorial shows how to Get information corresponding to max value in Excel using the example below; Formula =INDEX(range1,MATCH(MAX(range2),range2,0) Explanation To lookup information related to the maximum value in a range, you can use a formula that combines the MAX, INDEX, and MATCH functions. In the example shown, the formula in I8 is: =INDEX(F3:F11,MATCH(MAX(C3:C11),C3:C11,0)) Which… read more »
